Riviera Galleria, a new premium destination for elevated shopping and dining in Athens, welcomes Zuma Athens. Located in the heart of the Athens Riviera, the globally renowned contemporary Japanese dining brand <\/strong>is set to make its debut in the Greek capital. The arrival of Zuma Athens offers a first strong indication of the character of the new destination taking shape on the waterfront of The Ellinikon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riviera Galleria is designed by internationally acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma. Its visionary architectural approach draws inspiration from the continuous movement of the Greek sea, placing natural light, the surrounding landscape and a direct connection to the water at the forefront. Designed as a year-round destination, Riviera Galleria will bring together leading international and Greek names across fashion and dining. Now rapidly approaching completion, the new destination is set to introduce a distinctive premium experience to the Athens Riviera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Zuma, the opening marks another milestone in the brand\u2019s continued global expansion. Created specifically for Athens, the restaurant\u2019s design concept brings together Japanese culture and Greek mythology. It combines the spirit of Sakamori, the Japanese tradition of gathering over food, drinks and music, with the symbolism of Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds, associated with movement, discovery and new journeys. Together, these influences will shape a setting defined by movement, light and natural materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sven Koch, Chief Executive Officer of the Azumi Group, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOpening Zuma Athens marks another exciting chapter in Zuma\u2019s global journey. As we prepare to celebrate Zuma\u2019s 25th anniversary next year, we are proud to continue expanding the brand into some of the world\u2019s most exceptional destinations. Following the success of Zuma Mykonos and ROKA Mykonos and Santorini, Greece has become an increasingly important market for us. Zuma Athens, our fourth venue in the country, represents a natural evolution of our presence here, and we are excited to bring the brand to the heart of the Athens Riviera, the perfect setting to deliver the vibrant atmosphere, energy and guest experience that define Zuma.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melina Paizi, Managing Director, LAMDA Malls, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Riviera Galleria takes shape along the waterfront of The Ellinikon, we are creating a new destination for Athens, set to open in 2027. We are delighted to welcome Zuma Athens, joining a strong mix of leading international and Greek brands that will define the distinctive character of Riviera Galleria: a unique destination where a strong architectural identity, a direct connection to the sea and beautifully curated experiences come together to create a new proposition for Athens.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
